Print Recipe

A refreshing and creamy summer drink blending whole limes, sweetened condensed milk, and coconut milk for a tropical twist on classic lemonade.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium fresh limes, washed and quartered
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 2 cups (480 ml) cold water
  • 1–2 cups (240–480 ml) ice cubes
  • 1–2 tablespoons (12–24 grams) sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and quarter the limes, removing any seeds.
  2. Add quartered limes, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and cold water to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until frothy and smooth with tiny flecks of lime peel visible. Avoid blending longer than 1 minute to prevent bitterness.
  4. Add ice cubes and optional sugar, then blend briefly for 10-15 seconds to crush ice and combine.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sugar, condensed milk, or water as desired.
  6. Optionally strain the lemonade through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a smoother texture.
  7. Serve immediately in glasses with extra ice, garnished with lime wheels or toasted shredded coconut.

Notes

Do not over-blend to avoid bitterness from lime pith. Use fresh, firm limes for best flavor. Straining is optional depending on texture preference. For a richer drink, reduce water and add heavy cream or coconut cream. Keep ingredients cold before blending to maintain frosty texture. Can be made vegan by swapping sweetened condensed milk with sweetened condensed coconut milk or cashew-based cream.
